The latest numbers indicate the .08 percent up-tick is the largest increase since April. Like we told you months ago the numbers are coming from manufacturing and construction. What that means is workers are back to seeing more money in their paycheck. And...if you are a smart business you are reaching out to them with value centered, "buy local" messages. Here is the complete story.

I'll share a story today about the result and a brief video of some out takes from a recent commercial shoot.
